an ion :)
When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. This process is known as reduction, and it can change the chemical properties of the atom by affecting its reactivity and ability to form bonds.
becomes an anion. Negatively charged.
An atom becomes negatively charged when it receives an electron from another atom. In other words, if there are more electrons than protons in an atom, it becomes negatively charged.
If it looses an electron, it becomes positively charged. If it gains one, it becomes negatively charged. These charged species are collectively called ions.
If an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged because it now has more negatively charged electrons than positively charged protons. This results in the atom becoming an anion.
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
yes...on gaining an electron, the atom becomes an anion i.e. negatively charged ion.
while an atom that gains electrons and becomes negatively charged is known as an anion
An atom that has gained an electron has a negative charge and is called an anion.
